Dave-
Glad to know I could tow my Flyer with my del Sol Si if I needed to! I normally use a 2003 Dodge 3500 diesel auto, which gets ~20mpg at 70 empty which drops to ~17-18mpg w/ Flyer behind at 70, of course when diesel was ~$5/gal. I towed at 60-65 which got me ~19. At regattas I sleep in the back of the truck so save myself room charges and hassle of a tent, figure that makes up for a little more fuel cost (and I can bring the kitchen sink if I want to!!) Hadn't thought of putting a hitch on the del Sol- I wish Honda would make them again, I'm about to roll over 100K on mine and would buy a new one if they made them!
IMO the "A" cats are about the ideal cat to tow due to their light weight, "slippery" hulls, and narrow beam which allow a trailer with no crossarms and light weight (ala the Trailex I have). I would love a 2 piece mast ala the old BIM "A" cats cause you could then put the 2 mast pieces down either under the tramp or just above and cut that air resistance as well!
